John Mayer and such...

Photobucket

Did you think that I wasn't going to blog today?
I did.
But then I changed my mind after reading something on twitter.
I read a post about John Mayer.
I've heard tons of stuff about John Mayer - both good things, and a lot of not so good things.
And having heard so much stuff...mostly all bad, I've never really bothered to actually hear him.
Truth be told - you could play a JM song and I wouldn't know it was him.
Does that make me weird?
I think not.... but you decide. :)
So I had to check him out, finally.. and as always, google is my friend.
So is youtube.
I asked a dear friend what songs to listen to - but being my usual unpatient self, I found this video on youtube. And this.
Aaaand okay, he kinda had me from the get go.
Not his own song though, that first one, it just happens to be one of my faves!
Lucky choice for John that one, and - omg, the voice!
I get it.
As much as I hate to admit it - I get what the fuzz is about.
He sounds absolutely amazing. (oh, the agony to have to admit to that!!)
And seriously - you'd need to be pretty darn amazing to win me over with just two songs.
So - musically, I found some new respect for Mr.John Mayer.
But I will still say this; It's possible to be an awesome musician and still be an asshole. :)

Song of the day: "Who says" - John Mayer.

    Sometimes I get the impression he's just really lonely and oftentimes misunderstood. Isn't that a common trait among geniuses? Not that I am implying he is one necessarily, but just sayin' ;)
    I hope you keep listening; I think it'll get even better. Heard "Gravity" yet?

    Possibly misunderstood, possibly just arrogant and full of himself...

    I believe that he was trying too hard to impress those who expected him to be too cool with flippant answers. When it backfired he realized what a jerk he came off as. I have seen him live twice since then, and he is quite repentant on stage and also filled with gratitude for his fans. Yes - lonely and misunderstood, also with the sensitive heart of most musicians.

Når ord blir fattige.

Når ord blir fattige og hjertet blør, da finner jeg det naturlig og greit å bruke ord som andre har skrevet. Et dikt som jeg selv har funnet styrke i mang en gang. Først da jeg som 15-åring mistet en betydelig person i mitt liv, og senere da jeg mistet mitt eget barn. Ord som er så sterke for meg at det bringer den smerten jeg dypt begraver til overflaten gjennom den første linjen. Jeg vet hvordan de har det nå, de som sitter igjen med et barn for lite. De som ikke kan forstå at de aldri mer skal høre stemmen til deres nære. Jeg vet hvor vanskelig det er å skulle åpne øynene og møte en ny dag. Og så en til. Og så en til. Jeg ble fortalt, gang på gang, at alt blir bedre etterhvert. Men ingen fortalte meg noen gang hvordan jeg skulle leve akkurat da. Ingen kunne si meg hvor jeg skulle hente styrke til å stå opp og ta den dusjen om morgenen, smøre ei skive til frokost og komme seg på jobb. Og ingen fortalte meg hvordan jeg skulle klare å takle demonene som fortsatt besøker meg når det er ...

Finally!!!

After what feels like forever, my wish has finally come true. Joey DeGraw is coming to Oslo to play! It's been a spring full of emailing, calling and a lot of organizing to try and get Joey a gig over here. It's felt like a ton of work, yet I didn't really get anywhere. Then my friend Monica stepped up and got Joey a gig at a small, but very cozy pub called Buckley's in Oslo. I'm exited. Thats an understatement! I get to see Joey in the city I live in. No fuzz with travelling and no stress what so ever. It will be amazing. All I need to do is to sit down with a drink and enjoy some great music. This summer is saved, no matter what happens, cuz I get to see Joey DeGraw LIVE! :)
